摘要:
An arrangement for employing a host of receivers that may already be present in a laptop, to enable the laptop to collect a significant amount of data about its location. Once the system then finds a readily available connection, it can then transmit information about its location as well as other information to help pinpoint the location of the laptop.

Systems, methods and products directed toward creating device preloads via employing base and additional image content. One aspect includes communicating an aspect of an information handling device, and assimilating additional image content at the information handling device responsive to communication of the aspect of the device, wherein a base image and the additional image content are combined to form a unitary device image. Other embodiments are described herein.
摘要:
A method can include receiving memory configuration information that specifies a memory configuration; receiving memory usage information for the memory configuration; analyzing the received memory usage information for a period of time; and, responsive to the analyzing, controlling notification circuitry configured to display a graphical user interface that presents information for physically altering a specified memory configuration. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Alternative desktop computing solutions provide client devices configured with a local boot image and a connection to a remote storage device having a boot image. The clients are configured to boot either locally or remotely, and furthermore to determine from which image (local or remote) they have booted.

A method for protecting Security Accounts Manager (SAM) files within a Windows® operating system is disclosed. A SAM file encryption key is generated by encrypting a SAM file via a syskey utility provided within the Windows® operating system. The SAM file encryption key is then stored in a virtual floppy disk by selecting an option to store SAM file encryption key to a floppy disk under the syskey utility. A blob is generated by performing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Seal command against the SAM file encryption key along with a value stored in a Performance Control Register and a TPM Storage Root Key. The blob is stored in a non-volatile storage area of a computer.
摘要:
A technique for preventing damage to a portable device includes detecting movement of a portable device and determining whether a port of the portable device is attached to an external device. When the external device is attached to the port, a notification is provided to a user of the portable device that the external device requires detachment from the portable device (e.g., assuming that the notification is not masked).
摘要:
A system and method for loading programs during a system boot using stored configuration data in a predetermined file system from a prior session and providing the stored configuration data to a guest operating system capable of communication with a host operating system, during start-up, within a computing environment having a hypervisor, in a predetermined manner.
摘要:
The collaborative sharing of resources on demand based on proximity, within a group or network of computers. Broadly contemplated herein the “tiling” of a collection of logically adjacent individual graphical desktops in a virtual desktop. In such a setting, the action of dragging a window or icon off of one desktop and onto another would effectively transfer user interactability, and/or perceived ownership of the object, to the desktop where the window or icon graphically “lands”.
摘要:
An arrangement for supporting a flat panel display wherein an actuating arrangement responsively alters a physical disposition of the supporting arrangement in a manner to avert physical damage to said flat panel display. Preferably, a flat panel display cover on a laptop will “bow” or arch in a direction away from the flat panel display and the actuating arrangement can be embodied, e.g., by a lattice or grid of wiring, or by a bimetallic sheet. Electronic or mechanical actuation is conceivable and the actuating arrangement can be triggered by, e.g., the imposition of a potentially damaging object and/or by closure of the laptop. While a laptop embodiment is broadly contemplated, other applications are possible.
